A river in central Canada. The upper reaches of the South Saskatchewan and North Saskatchewan rivers originate in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, flow east through the prairie plateaus of Alberta and Saskatchewan, join together east of Prince Albert, and then flow eastward into Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba. The longest length of the river (from the source of the North Saskatchewan River) is 1,940 km. In the past, it was used for the fur trade, but now it is used for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation. The middle and lower reaches are rich wheat fields.
